Re: iroc wheels

Rears will not fit on the front without spacers/adapters. They have more backspacing and will not clear the struts.

IIRC, the offset of the rear wheels compared the front wheels is 16mm which about 5/8".

Re: iroc wheels

^ if it is that much, you'll need adapters, not spacers. Regular type lugs/studs would never hold that.
